from your camera, carefully study this manual. The
Minolta Maxxum 7000 is an automatic SLR camera that requires battery to power all
its function. Inside its shell, despite its age and the computer technology employed
may be outdated (one reason you must considered before thinking of getting yourself
an used unit) but they are still adequately good enough to bring fascinating dimensions
to your photography. From key control to centralized data display, every aspect of
the 7000 is designed for easy operation and outstanding results.

Among its Major Features
are:

* High-tech autofocusing for precise, instant sharpness with the full range of new
Minolta AF lenses.
* LCD data panels on top and in viewfinder for maximum information in each mode.
* Auto multi-program mode that automatically sets an AE program to match the actual
focal length in use-with unique program shift to tailor each for special needs.
* Aperture- and shutter-priority modes plus metered manual for total flexibility.
* Auto film control for loading, automatic film speed setting with DX-coded films,
single-frame or continuous advance at up to two frames per second, plus power rewind.

Some Advanced Accessories
that be of significant interest include:

* The Program Flash units with AF assist for autofocus in low light or total darkness,
TTL metering in all modes, and a new auto fill-flash program.
* The Program Back 70 that makes data imprinting, intervalometer operation, and long
exposures easier than ever.
* Many new series of Minolta AF lenses can be used on the camera and it has its own
original matching series of lenses range from 24mm wideangle to 300mm f/2.8 APO tele
and include five lightweight macro-zooms.
* User-changeable focusing screens, wireless remote controls, eyepiece correctors,
etc., fill out the growing system.
